Temperature Dependence of Photoluminescence in InGaAs/InP Strained MQW Heterostructures

摘要

Multiple quantum well (MQW) InGaAsP/InP heterostructure systems have been drawn considerable research interest in recent years due to its suitability for long wavelength optoelectronic devices. The performance of such devices is strongly affected by peculiarities of recombination processes in the quantum wells (QW). The goal of this study was to investigate the effect of barrier width on the radiative recombination of carriers. In our study, the photoluminescence spectra from InGaAsP/lnP MQW double heterostructures have been measured in the 77-290 K temperature range with different excitation intensities.
